Dating in
your thirties
Makeover for women
We
are discussing
what can women do to succeed at
finding a relationship if they have passed the
age of 30. We have already discussed how
you need to open your mind to new possibilities
and what are some simple things that you can do
to
look younger. In this article, we offer
some fashion and style tips that will give you
the modern look (Did you watch "Sex and the
city"?) and
attract men. Although I personally do not believe that there are defined styles for each age, I know in certain parts of the
US, we have unspoken strict
rules when it comes to dressing. Women as young as 25 are not supposed to
wear mini skirts (yes that is what the experts on TV said the other day) and have to be careful with shorts, etc. (I think that these so-called fashion experts need to spend some time in Europe and in Japan to see that even ‘older’ girls can have a life). The department stores in some parts of country offer the most unflattering, boring clothing for everybody after their teenage years. To this, we have to add American’s distinct preference for only very comfortable clothing. The
French think we do not know
how to dress, and they maybe right.
(Related article: How
to feel good about your body?) Our advice
on style for
single women over 35 is: less is more. Buy
well-tailored clothing that flatter your figure and try to
look modern. Get inspiration from actresses and models that have your beauty/looks/physique type, and of course, you should like how they look. Go to the
trendy apparel stores with pictures, look at magazines and selecting what you can use, ask for advice/feedback from your best (and honest) friends. If you need to hire a style consultant, do it. It is money well spent. Take a trip to a major metropolis like
New York or
Los Angeles, or
shop online where you will have a wider choice. Do not buy only what is easily available to you. Reinvent yourself to look younger. If you are stuck in the past, if your look is outdated (you know the styles from the 80s, or even worse, from the 70s), get yourself in the 21st century. Nothing will make you look older than an outdated style. Bobby Brown, the famous makeup artist, said that as we pass 40, it is very important to keep up with fashion to look younger. You do not need to be a fashion slave, but a few modern pieces of clothing will make a big difference.

If you
want to lose weight go ahead and do it or be happy as you are, but stop torturing yourself for it. If you don’t like your body and do nothing about it either, you will simply feel terrible inside,
hate your body, develop low
self-esteem (Related link: How
to improve self esteem and develop a positive body
image?), and none of this is going to help you
find a boyfriend. If you need to firm up you body, you must rush to workout, but do not struggle with decisions and take them as an excuse not to look for your partner. If you are
overweight it is a good idea to workout and eat healthy, but it is a bad idea to tell yourself that you
cannot be loved because of your
weight. Accept who you are and make changes, be kind to yourself.
